Terms and conditions of service

This agreement ("Agreement") is between PRAGMATRAX (“we”, “us” or "PTX") and you ("End User"). The “CANROMANIA” IP Voice Communications Service and any related services or products provided by PTX to the End User ("Services") shall be governed by the terms and conditions herein. By activating the Services, the End User acknowledges receiving, reading and understanding this Agreement and accepts the terms and conditions herein. End User acknowledges that they are of legal age to enter into this Agreement.

1. TERMS AND CONDITIONS. The terms and conditions stated herein are in lieu of and replace any and all terms and conditions set forth in any documents issued by End User, including, without limitation, purchase orders and specifications. Any additional, different, or conflicting terms and conditions on any such document issued by end user at any time are hereby objected to by PTX, and any such documents shall be wholly inapplicable to any sale made or service rendered hereunder and shall not be binding in any way on PTX. No waiver or amendment to this contract or these terms and conditions shall be binding on PTX unless made in writing expressly stating that it is such a waiver or amendment and signed by an officer of PTX.

2. TERM. The term of this Agreement ("Term") begins on the date that PTX initiates the Services and continues for the duration of the service period as defined by the service plan that is selected by the End User ("Plan"). At the end of the current Term, the Term is automatically renewed under the same terms and conditions for a like term as the Term just ending unless the End User provides PTX, prior to the end of the current Term, notification of intention to terminate the service. The End User agrees to pay for the Services for the duration of the Term. Expiration of the Term does not alleviate the End User of responsibility for paying all unpaid, accrued charges due hereunder. If the End User chooses to terminate the service before the end of the current Term, the End User will be immediately responsible for paying monthly service fees otherwise due for the duration of the Term. Upon termination, the End User must immediately return to PTX any PTX equipment provided hereunder ("Equipment"), undamaged and in good working condition, in its original packaging and with its original content or otherwise will be immediately responsible for paying to PTX an amount equal to the fair retail price of the Equipment minus any payments End User had previously paid specifically for said Equipment.

3. CHARGES AND PAYMENTS. End User is to pay all charges invoiced to the End User's account including, but not limited to, initiation fees, activation fees, monthly service fees, equipment charges, toll charges and any other applicable charges. All invoices are due upon receipt. In addition to any other remedies available under law, if any charges are due but unpaid for any reason including, but not limited to, non-payment or declined Credit Card charges, PTX may terminate the Services and all accrued charges are immediately due plus a late fee of the lesser of 1.5% per month or the maximum allowed by law accrued from the date of invoice until payment in full is received by PTX. No termination of the Services or of this Agreement shall relieve End User from paying any amounts due hereunder. Monthly service fees are paid in advance of each month's service, toll charges and any other applicable charges are billed at the end of each month's service. Monthly service fees are initiated at the earlier of i.) the End User's activation of the Services or ii.) 1st day of the month.

4. TOLLS. Every call to or from Equipment using the Services that originates or terminates in the Public Switched Telephone Network ("PSTN") is subject to the then applicable toll charges that are associated with the Plan. Every call to or from Equipment using the Services that originates or terminates with a VoIP service provider that is not affiliated or associated with PTX will also count as PSTN minutes and be subject to the then applicable toll charges that are associated with the Plan. The duration of each call is to be calculated in one (1) minute increments and rounded up to the nearest minute increment.

5. TELEPHONE NUMBERS. Any telephone number provided by PTX ("Number") to the End User shall be leased and not sold. End User shall not obtain any rights, title or interest in the Number. The Number is not portable to other service providers. The End User is not to use the Number with any other device other than the Equipment without the express written permission of PTX. PTX reserves the right to change, cancel or move the Number at our discretion.

6. LOST, STOLEN, ALTERED OR BROKEN EQUIPMENT. End User shall not modify the Equipment in any way without the express written permission of PTX. End User shall not use the Equipment except with the Services provided hereunder. Except as otherwise provided for hereunder, End User is responsible for all lost, stolen or broken Equipment and shall pay PTX for any such lost, stolen or broken Equipment an amount equal to the fair retail price of the Equipment minus any payments End User had previously paid specifically for said Equipment. End User shall immediately notify PTX of any lost or stolen Equipment and shall cooperate with PTX in all reasonable aspects to eliminate actual or potential unauthorized use of the Equipment. At PTX's sole option, failure to report lost or stolen equipment in a timely manner will cause End User to be responsible for all service fees accrued until the time that PTX is informed of the loss or theft and can affect a termination of the Services.

7. CREDIT. All shipments, deliveries, services and performance of work covered by this Agreement shall at all times be subjected to credit approval or review by PTX. End User will provide such credit information or assurance as is requested by PTX at any time. PTX, in its sole discretion and judgment, may discontinue credit at any time without notice.

8. TAXES. Quoted prices do not include any customs duties, sales, use, value added, excise, federal, provincial, local, public utility or other similar taxes. All such taxes shall be paid by the End User and will be added to any amounts otherwise charged to End Users unless End User provides PTX with an appropriate exemption certificate.

9. PROHIBITED USES. Any End User use of the Services or any other action that causes a disruption in the network integrity of PTX or its vendors, whether directly or indirectly is strictly prohibited and could result in termination of the Services. End User understands that neither PTX nor its vendors are responsible for the content of the transmissions that may pass through the Internet and/or the Services. End User agrees that it will NOT use the Services in ways that violate laws, infringe the rights of others, or interfere with the users, services, or equipment of the network.

PTX reserves the right to immediately terminate or modify the Service, if PTX determines, in its sole discretion, that End User's use of the Service is for non-residential or commercial use.

11. CHANGES TO THE AGREEMENT, SERVICES OR PLAN. PTX reserves the right to make changes to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Services and/or the Plan ("Change of Service"). In the event of a Change of Service, PTX will notify the End User at least ten (10) days in advance of the date on which the Change of Service is to take effect ("Change Date"). Any Change of Service charges will be applied to the End User's account as appropriate, pro rata as calculated from the Change Date. End User can, within ten (10) days of PTX's notification, send notice to PTX that the End User does not accept the Change of Service, and can terminate this Agreement. In such event, End User will be responsible for any sums due hereunder in addition to any applicable disconnection fees. If the End User does not send PTX notification of their desire to terminate this Agreement or uses the Services after the Change Date, the End User is deemed to have accepted and consented to the Change of Service. End User may request a Plan change at anytime, a change of service fee and other terms and conditions may apply. All Plan policies include but are not limited to the following possible charges for upgrades, downgrades or cancellations. In no case will an activation fee be credited after thirty (30) days from the initial purchase of the Services for a Plan change or cancellation. Activation charges apply to all upgrades to existing Plans. For a Plan change to a Plan that requires a purchase of the Equipment, an equipment charge will apply.
